Why OCS?

We lead the children through a God- Based program. Where prayer and God’s word is part of everything we do!

We offer smaller class sizes, which allows us to have more one-on-one with the students and ensure their individual needs are met.

There is a warm, welcoming, family feeling at OCS. You know who your child’s friends and their families are.

We have pulled from some of the best curricula available today to make up our excellent academic program to ensure your child is getting the best education possible.

We also have highly motivated teachers, all with a God-given desire to teach children and watch them grow in wisdom, knowledge and God’s word.

Kindergarten

​My class provides a nurturing, loving, and supportive atmosphere that helps develop a love of learning. This allows each student to experience God’s love through academic, emotional, and spiritual expression.Kindergarten is an important year in a child’s life, a year to influence how a child feels about school. It is my goal that their Kindergarten year will be a positive and successful experience. I want the children to leave Kindergarten with:​

Confidence

Self-esteem

A love of learning

A positive and successful experience

Pride in themselves and their accomplishments

A relationship with Jesus Christ

An understanding that the Bible is the true living word of God

Academics

​Our Language Arts Program is A Beka Book. The A Beka language arts program is a cohesive program that includes reading, penmanship, writing, & grammar, with a strong emphasis on phonics. This program gives students the tools they need to write and speak clearly and effectively, to read with comprehension, appreciation, and discernment. The result is highly motivated, confident students who develop a love for reading and writing.

We use Saxon Math throughout our preschool and elementary classrooms. Saxon Math is traditional math emphasizing the use of manipulatives and mental math. It is designed with a multi-sensory approach to learning, enabling children to develop a solid foundation in the language and basic concepts of math.​

Spiritual:

The Bible is foundational to a Christian education and therefore integrated throughout the daily subjects. Our Bible curriculum immerses students in Bible stories, character growth, and regular scripture memorization. Our desire is to give students a strong foundation of God’s word so they can be the salt and light in this world.

The students memorize 24 versus during their kindergarten year. We implement this memorization through bible stories, acting out verses and reciting them daily both in school and as homework.

By the end of their kindergarten year, they have a strong understanding of who Jesus is and that the only way for eternal life is through Jesus. They have an opportunity to accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior. I am able to lead them through the salvation prayer.

​Social/Character Growth:​

Free Play, recess

Dramatic Play used for academics and bible

Student led presentations throughout the school year helping them in learning confident with public speaking

We use the Bucket - Filling concept where we look for ways to help each other, show manners, go above and beyond, and show God’s love to one another, “Did you fill a bucket today?”
